Holy cow -- this place is still a thing

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Wow, I thought that after four or five years this place would collapse without me. But no! Awesome.

Nothing new with me except I've been in South Korea for almost three years.

Um... What's up?

[Epimethee]

Naaah, we were waiting for your return before collapsing. OK guys, NOW we can close FR.

...Welcome back, SHJ!

[thalaw2]

Wow!  3 years in North Korea...making Spring Heeled Flapjacks?

[detourne_me]

Hey dude, welcome back.  How do you like the rok? been here 7 years myself.

[stumpy]

Still a thing, indeed! Welcome back, SHJ.

[BlueBard]

With everything this community has been through, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

We survived the loss of the original Irrational Freedom Force forum.  What -- two or three different server host moves?  A software upgrade.  Hacking.  And I can't even remember how many outages.

A few originals have moved on, but new people filled up the holes.

As long as there are PC games, superhero art, and comic books, and active Titans, I expect FR to be here.

And the still let me stink the place up too!!!

[Tomato]

And the still let me stink the place up too!!!

"Let me" I don't think is the right phrasing DJ. "Can't get rid of" is better

[stumpy]

And the still let me stink the place up too!!!

Not to criticize anyone's source of booze, but that's just one problem with an improperly maintained still. ;-)

[Glitch Girl]

Welcome back Jack! 

Yup, we're still here.  Like DJ, we're harder to get rid of than a rash.

But I'm more fun than a rash though at times when I pee...well...let's not go there...

[Spring Heeled Jack]

My annual check-in. I found an image of one of my old Captain America skins and felt like stopping by.

[Outcast]

Stop by anytime. I also saw some of your Gamma Patrol preview skins from Daglob's Blast from the past thread. I thought they were really cool. Especially the original characters you made. Nice to hear from you again.

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Thanks! Yeah, skinning was a lot of fun. I wish I would have kept up with it -- my Silver Age Captain America, Vision and Wonder Man were my swan song -- but other things got in the way.

[DrMike2000]

Spring Heeled Jack! Did you do, or at least contemplate, an X-Statix mod once upon a time?

If so, have you seen the recent Doop minieries?

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Yeah, I was really into X-Statix back then (er, 2003?). But the mod never came to fruition.

I haven't read any comics since maybe 2005, I think, so I've missed just about everything. But thanks for the heads-up!

Yep, we're still going strong.

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Check-ups happen on a private forum.

You really HAVE missed a lot, haven't you?

[Spring Heeled Jack]

What has happened to C6 and his skins?

[spydermann93]

What has happened to C6 and his skins?

Champions?  Well, unfortunately, the site was taken down for unspecified reasons, but over at the Freedom Fortress, Alex has been very busy adding a TON of C6's Marvel skins.

Also, some of C6's skins were salvaged in this yahoo group: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Champions_of_Freedom_3/files

I prefer to think of myself as a quick draw rather than a Ninja.  Quick on the draw and ohhh sooo smooth on the trigger. 

Hey DJ keep playing that song.

*turns off the radio* I will not continue playing THAT song....makes my teeth hurt...

Yeah, you've missed quite a bit, but in some cases, you'll be glad you did. (Such as Marvel's 'Civil War.' There's a reason some people still refer to Iron Man as 'Fuhrer Stark', and that crossover is it. )

Still, welcome back, buddy. I may not have been to Korea, (or ever out of the USA, for that matter,) but I took a long absence from the site too, until recently. Glad to have 'ya.
